Nirvanaproducer Butch Vig says rumours that Kurt Cobain was working on a solo album before his suicide are not true, and no unheard recordings of the Nirvana mainman exist.

Speculation increased recently when former Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson stated he'd heard "raw, rough acoustic" tracks had been laid down and added: "There is stuff that has not been put out."

But Vig insists Cobain didn't make any such recordings and was far more interested in working with wife Courtney Love's outfit Hole in the months before he shot himself in 1994.

The Offspring's new album, Days Go By, will be released on June 26th. The title track is streaming at Offspring.comand is available at all digital retailers.

The Offspring have also announced that they'll be performing their 1992 album Ignition in its entirety during their show Thursday at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, California.

Tom Cruisetackles songs by Guns n' Roses and Def Leppard on the soundtrack to Rock of Ages, the film version of the hit Broadway musical. The album has Cruise in character as Stacee Jaxx performing "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me." It also includes comedian Russell Brand tackling a medley of Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" and Starship's "We Built This City."

The Rock of Ages soundtrack is due out June 5th, and the film hits theaters June 15th.
